Denver Rejects UFO Agency To Track Aliens
Republicans weren't the only ones to win big yesterday. Aliens in The Mile-High City can breathe easier thanks to voters rejecting a plan to officially track them. From the article: "The proposal defeated soundly Tuesday night would have established a commission to track extraterrestrials. It also would have allowed residents to post their observations on Denver's city Web page and report sightings." Let the anonymous probings begin!
Webkit. You can thank Apple for being open when using the browser on your phone.
Except you should actually thank the KDE team, for making Konqueror and KHTML. Apple just stole it, just like they did with OSX.

Yes, they stole it. Some say forked it. And added to it. And shared it. And now others use it- people who use Symbian, Android, webOS, Kindle.
It's called 'how open source works'.

No, you are wrong. Apple didn't share it because they wanted to. They did it because they had no choice. KHTML is under the LGPL, which means they can link prorietary software to it, but they can't restrict KHTML itself. That's why they kept Webkit free ('cause they didn't have a choice), but the next piece of software (Safari itself) is proprietary. Also, the KDE team did most of the hard work, not apple.
